For those who don't know, he's a celeb in Indonesia now

A bit about his life from his website

Sam Brodie was born in the city of Medan, the capital of the Indonesian province of North Sumatra, on April the 14th 1987 to his Scottish Father and Indonesian Mother who were both working as Missionaries.

During his early years he grew up on the islands of Sumatra and West Java where his parents provided humble lifestyle which he stills values today.

As a young child Sam and his family relocated to the UK. The transition was difficult on Sam and he suffered from relentless bullying and sexual abuse and was made homeless at the age of 14 after turmoil in the family home.

Despite his troublesome childhood, his unique ability to stay positive was his saving grace, a quality that has now become part of Sam’s likeability and trademark.

This the rare ability to make others feel special sets him apart as he makes himself accessible to everyone, which has been crucial to Sam’s life and career from the beginning.

Appearing on stage and entertaining others gave Sam the distraction from his not-so-happy reality, and slowly built his confidence from a shy child into the personality he has become today.

Sam started auditioning and obtained roles in several plays for the Ayrshire Voices Theatre Production company. After numerous shows, he joined his Secondary School Choir where his talents were recognised by his music teacher, and was given a main part in the timeless musical Sound of Music, where he played Friedrich, one of the Von Trapp Children at his School Greenwood Academy.

During his teenage years Sam was not happy with who he was and started his transformation into a new personality.

He started wearing makeup, growing his hair, slowly wearing girls’ clothing, and it was at this point Sam (as a girl) found the confidence that he had been missing all this time.

He lived and was accepted as a girl, working part time for a retail store, doing home-to-home manicure services for locals and working in a call centre to earn extra cash.

All the while Sam was keeping busy, putting his focus on saving money to put himself through Acting and Performance College.

Not long after his big break came, when TV audiences were first introduced to Sam in 2006 through his participation on the popular reality TV show Big Brother, where he gained recognition for bravely showing the public that being different was okay.

Sam appeared on the hit reality show through his female persona, labelled as the Tartan ****** and the Amazing Sam, and was well received by the public on his eviction.

Amidst the controversy that can come from being different and appearing on a national TV program, Sam rode the ups and downs of the pressures of being in the public eye, and took it in his stride to further strengthen his resolve and personality.

In 2007 Sam relocated to Asia, where he quickly gathered the attention of the Indonesian public after appearing as a guest star on Indonesian TV the following year.

With his unique personality and comic antics, his bubbly personality shone through and he has been on television ever since.

With his ability to capture a plethora of characters, he relentlessly demands the audience’s full attention as soon as he appears on screen.

Sam has hosted numerous prime time talk shows, both on TV and radio, as well as off-air MC assignments, and has acquired a taste for acting after starring in his first feature film début for MNC Productions (RCTI Group) in April 2012, ‘Pliss deh Jangan Lebay’.

He has starred in many other leading roles including ‘Cinta Iwak Peyek’, and playing the character Bona in the drama movie ‘Biarkan aku lahir Ibu’.

Sam is no stranger to the camera and this Indonesian born entertainer is constantly being admired for his comedic roles and performances.

Most recently Sam featured as the main character in MTV Indonesia’s global TV production ‘Boy Band Story Max 5’, where he played the character of a road manager for an up and coming struggling band. Sam is currently working on his mini-album with the help of Indonesia’s leading producers and has signed with a major label.

Sam is merely starting his journey in the industry and is moving onto bigger and better things, we have a lot still to see from this young entertainer,

Sam currently resides between his homes in Jakarta (Indonesia), and Scotland (UK).
